"The best feature of this textbook is its focus on construction applications. This textbook does a good job of balancing the engineering principles with the construction processes in the study of soils." ― Greg Ohrn, Northern Arizona University
"The strength of the text is that it presents technical material in a very understandable way to students who are more oriented towards non-technical, more managerial subjects." ― Constantine A. Ciesieiski, East Carolina University
